S3 Standby question/problem

My new build (see below) will successfully go into and out of S3 standby and
wake up appropriately for network access (remote desktop, shared folder
access)

Here's the problem- when I boot up another computer in my home network my
new build wakes up even though no network traffic has been requested. Also
with one of my networked pcs on, my new build will constantly wake up (every
5 minutes or so)- again no network traffic has been requested. BTW my new rig
has a shared folder for videos that the other networked pcs occasionally use-
I have simple file sharing turned off

When the other computers are off my new rigs standby problems go away (this
took forever to troubleshoot)!

I've tried putting my new build on a separate switch but same problem- I
also noticed that the "wake up " signal is sent when the windows xp screen on
the booting computer states- loading your settings

Anyone have a solution?- obviously I still want to be able to wake up the
new computer with appropriate REQUESTED traffic- does windows automatically
ping its shares ever so often?

thanks in advance
new rig:
gigabyte p35 ds3-l motherboard
q6600
windows XP pro on all machines
